Hi. I hope you can find the support your looking for here. I can sympathize with what you are going through. When I get depressed I tend to isolate myself too. I too would like to manage my depression without meds. I've tried a couple medications (zoloft and Lexapro) but neither helped me. I think my depression is partly caused by the way I think and react to life events. It's good to hear your story and I wish you more blissful days.
